India's GDP growth accelerated in 4QFY23 to 6.1% YoY beating estimates of 5.1%. The full year FY23 GDP growth also beat estimates coming in at 7.2% (vs est 7.0%). The government also met the fiscal deficit target (6.4% of GDP) in FY23 aided by buoyant tax receipts and some fiscal headroom from lower payments. The growth in eight core infrastructure industries moderated to 3.5% YoY in April after hitting a five-month low of 3.6% YoY in March due to a decline in the output of crude oil, natural gas, refinery products and electricity. The RBI monetary policy is due next week. The monsoon is also expected to arrive in Kerala over the weekend.
